On Sunday, a very tweet-happy Trump defended the North Korea summit and castigated those denying its success.
Many have suggested the Singapore meeting was weak on results, yet Trump pointed out that — thanks to the groundbreaking assemblage — Kim Jong-un agreed to end nuclear testing and set hostages free.
By the way: have you considered how your life could improve by following Alex Parker on Twitter? I really think it’s worth doing. Thousands of you read my articles; imagine a magical place where we could all be together, in a constant exchange of ideas. Actually, we already have that, with RedState. But imagine if we had two. Two is better than one. This is your chance to prove it’s true.
Now back to the story. Here’s The Donald’s tweet I was setting up two paragraphs ago:
Funny how the Fake News, in a coordinated effort with each other, likes to say I gave sooo much to North Korea because I “met.” That’s because that’s all they have to disparage! We got so much for peace in the world, & more is being added in finals. Even got our hostages/remains!

Trump specifically responded to Chuck Schumer’s derision of the international meet-up:
Chuck Schumer said “the Summit was what the Texans call all cattle and no hat.” Thank you Chuck, but are you sure you got that right? No more nuclear testing or rockets flying all over the place, blew up launch sites. Hostages already back, hero remains coming home & much more!

In defense of criticism that the President surrendered too much during negotiations with Kim, he pointed out that the end to war games — military preparedness exercises — among American and South Korean forces was actually his idea:
Holding back the “war games” during the negotiations was my request because they are VERY EXPENSIVE and set a bad light during a good faith negotiation. Also, quite provocative. Can start up immediately if talks break down, which I hope will not happen!

Moreover, The Donald claimed that — thanks to the super successful summit — all of Asia is as happy as a lark over the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. According to Trump, only biased hacks would rather see POTUS fail.
Don’t be a biased hack, y’all!
The denuclearization deal with North Korea is being praised and celebrated all over Asia. They are so happy! Over here, in our country, some people would rather see this historic deal fail than give Trump a win, even if it does save potentially millions & millions of lives!

Trump was on a roll!
He also praised the economy,
Our economy is perhaps BETTER than it has ever been. Companies doing really well, and moving back to America, and jobs numbers are the best in 44 years.

trumpeted his way cool relationship with Merkel,

and downed Mueller and Comey.
Daniel Henninger of The Wall Street Journal: “This IG Report makes it clear, as did Rod Rosenstein’s memo, that Trump was absolutely justified, unquestionably justified, in firing Jim Comey. So I think the Mueller Investigation is on pretty weak grounds right now.” Witch Hunt!

Whatever kind of Fathers Day you had, one thing’s for certain: Donald Trump was celebrating like a boss. Who’s your daddy?!
